He calls himself an "irrepressible optimist". Coach Michael Taylor is an entrepreneur, author, coach, motivational speaker and radio show host who has dedicated his life to empowering men to reach their full potential. He knows first hand how to overcome adversity and build a rewarding and fulfilling life.

No stranger to diversity, Coach Michael was born in the inner city projects of Corpus Christi, Texas to a single mother with six children. Although he dropped out of high school in the 11th grade, his commitment to living an extraordinary life supported him in defying the odds.

Persistence, patience, and perseverance are what has driven his success and undergirds his drive to share his life lessons to heal and inspire others. At the behest of a terribly painful divorce, Michael faced the humiliation of bankruptcy and foreclosure. Alone and homeless, he contemplated suicide, but ultimately chose life.

Today he will talk to us about his latest mission and book, which are intended to Shatter The Stereotypes that surround black men in America. Michael Taylor’s book, Shattering Black Male Stereotypes: Eradicating the Ten Most Destructive Media-Generated Illusions About Black Men is a non-fiction work that opens up dialogue about ten of the most common myths of black men that the media portrays.

Join me in welcoming Coach Michael to the Everything Matters Podcast for an insightful, thought-provoking and invigorating conversation!

My guest today on the Everything Matters Podcast is Author and storyteller, Jeff Buehner. Jeff joins us to share the fascinating story of Sultan Mansa Musa of Mali. Sultan Musa was one of the richest men to ever walk the earth, and he was also very generous in sharing his wealth secrets with anyone who showed interest. 

A very kind lady at whose home Jeff was pouring concrete as a contractor, after hearing him complain about the life he had, she handed him a manuscript and gave him 24 hours to read and return it. What he found inside were the Sultan's 7 Secrets, which was an incredible story about the life of a man that he'd never heard before that would change his life forever. 

After this experience, Jeff always knew that had an obligation to share the gift of the Sultan’s Seven Secrets with as many people as possible before I retire, and he has now made it my personal mission to share these secret's as far as he possibly can.

He couldn’t just say “Thanks” for this priceless gift that had been given him and then wander off into the sunset. 

Nor was it enough to have shared this information with the hundreds of people who had approached him for advice over the years. 

After experiencing the massive shift his life underwent, having been frustrated, uncertain and even scared before discovering the Sultan’s Seven Secrets, he was transformed into a bold, confident, ultra-successful person. He knew that it was critical that he get  spread this information far and wide to everyone who could take advantage of it. 

Jeff knew he couldn’t quit until he’d presented this information to literally everyone who would avail themselves of it and his passion is what drove him to write a book about it - Sultan's 7 Secrets.

Enjoy this amazing story of transformation, and perhaps you will find a secret of the Sultan that could change your life for the better, forever!

This episode of the Everything Matters Podcast couldn't be more special to me, as I have the opportunity to reconnect with one of my favorite coaches in college. Coach Fitz Hill was a graduate assistant in 1988 at my college Alma Mater, Northwestern State University, in Natchitoches, Louisiana.

As an 18 year-old young man attending college there in a strange corner of the state of Louisiana. Being a 6 hours drive away from home, there was nothing I needed more than support, guidance, and a swift kick in the ass to help keep a hard-headed boy like me in line. Coach Fitz, along with a few other coaches of mine, provided just that and made a big impact on me.  He was like a big brother to me, and showed us how to conduct ourselves in certain situations. They all played an integral role in shaping me into the man I would become in life. In this show, I take the opportunity to acknowledge Coach Fitz for the contributions he made to me at a very pivotal point in my life.   

The youngest of three brothers, Coach Fitz Hill was born and raised in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. His father, James, routinely worked 14-hour days as a production manager at Arkadelphia Beverage Company in the daytime and janitor in the nighttime. His mother, Mary, was a high school registrar and volunteered with local children and college students at her church. 

Coach  Fitz earned an athletic scholarship to play football at Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe,  and played Wide Receiver. After the untimely passing of his father, he transferred back  home to support his mother. After graduating from Ouachita Baptist, he joined the U.S. Army and served during the Gulf War as a transportation officer, supporting American troops during Desert Shield and Desert Storm wars; during this time he received the Bronze Star and Commendation Medal.

He earned a double major  from Ouachita College - a B.A. in Communications and Physical Education. A Master's in Student Personnel Services from Northwestern State University while working there as a Graduate Assistant coach. He also holds his Ed.D from the University of Arkansas. He held assistant a head coaching positions at University of Arkansas and San Jose State, and assistant positions at Utah State, University of Arkansas, Northwestern State. To read more about his illustrious career and accomplishments, go here. It is such an honor to be connecting with him as men, and after all the years past, to discuss one of the most important topics of our time.

I am so thrilled to have my friend, Zaira Solano, as my next guest! I have known Zaira for about 13 years, and watching her develop into the Force of Nature that she is has been such a joy!

Born as the child of two immigrants, Zaira Solano always held a compassion for what it meant, and as she grew older that compassion deepened. Both her parents were from the Dominican Republic, and both practiced Dentistry there. However, after spending summers being mentored by her aunt who was an OBGYN in the D.R., she became inspired that this was the direction she wanted to go in for her career and life. It wasn't until high school that she came in contact with the art of debate with the debate club. She fell in love with it, and knew this was what she wanted to pursue it further, and possibly go into law. She started to see a possible dovetailing of her love for debate with her growing desire to make a difference for immigrant families. 

After watching many family members and friends go through the turbulent processes of becoming an American citizen, she began to realizing the valuable opportunities she had been given by her parents' choice to have her born in the United States so that she could a chance at the life she now has. Her passion grew, and she knew she wanted nothing more than to help others find that same opportunity for their families. Her goal is to help 1 million people gain their American citizenship over the next decade!

Zaira founded the Solano Law Firm, a boutique immigration law practice with offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama and soon in Phoenix, Arizona. Solano Law Firm primarily focuses on Removal/Deportation defense, family based petitions, and employment based petitions.

Zaira earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Georgia College & State University. While earning her degree, she worked in the office of a solo practitioner in the metro Atlanta area. Zaira worked for several firms throughout the Atlanta area while earning her law degree at Atlanta’s John Marshall Law School. Zaira discovered her passion for immigration law during law school. Later in her training she clerked for a premier immigration firm in Atlanta, Georgia. Zaira also worked in the Fulton County Public Defender’s Office in the Complex Case Division.
